Cooperative Learning
Here is a NZ-made 31 minute video showing several examples of cooperative learning in action, and how to make sure it really works, following the PIGSF (Pigs Fly) acronmyn:
P - Positive Interaction
I - Individual Accountability
G - Group and Invidividual Reflection
S - Small group skills
F - Face to Face interaction
This video would only play for me in Internet Explorer - so I've pasted the link just as text below, you can copy and paste into your IE browser if necessary.
